    Episode 2 - The Yellow Peril - The History of Xenophobia

    This episode explores the history of East Asian Xenophobia. It begins discussing the colonial roots of this anti-Asian narrative and Genghis Khan's Mongolian Empire. I also explore how race was constructed, the colouring of Asian, black, and brown skin, plus the hierarchy of our human species. This is interesting for all ears. I move onto speaking about how Asians found themselves in America and our treatment there are immigrants, and also a mention of early Chinese immigration in Britain.
